Ghost notesIt’s time to relax here in Sunnybrae after quite the busy month! Our Swing into Spring event welcomed an eager crowd of all ages to the dance floor, with two full sets of top-class Hot Club Jazz music, delivered by Salmon Arm’s The Ghost Notes. A huge thanks goes out to Willy Gaw, Darren Herting, Bill Lockie & Mike Scharf for their incredible and engaging performance. Be sure to check them out when you get the chance, they won’t disappoint! A very gracious thank you to all the local businesses who contributed a wealth of goodies to the prize raffle: Salmon Arm Silverbacks, Downtown Askew’s Foods, Martina’s Classic Barber Shoppe, Synergy Studio, Braby Motors, Hudson Vintage, On Alex, Shuswap Pie Company, Moon River Designs, Roots & Blues Festival and board member Karen Berger.

Thank you to Sunnybrae Vineyards & Winery and Crannóg Ales for the delicious beverages, to Hudson Vintage, The Shuswap Pie Company, Acorn Music and the Tappen Co-op for supporting us with ticket sales, to the The South Shuswap Scoop and Shuswap Culture for spreading the word, and to the Tappen Sunnybrae Fire Department for providing us with a “Safe Ride Home” service.

Further thanks goes out to all involved with the Sunnybrae Coffeehouse, which has now wrapped up its season until October 2019. Big thanks to Shuswap Coffee Company for sponsoring us with the tastiest coffee in the Shuwap, as well as our other event sponsors: Hudson Vintage, Tappen Co-op, Shuswap Logistics, Power Autobody and Sunnybrae Vineyards & Winery. To the Sunnybrae Seniors Hall for keeping everyone very well fed throughout the whole season – Thank you! And of course, to all the volunteers, performers and participants who keep this vibrant Community gathering alive!

Hall Sign

And finally, a few more checks on the to-do list with our hall renovations and upgrades, including a very kind donation from Shuswap Logistics, who brought in a gorgeous new sign for the hall exterior. It really is the icing on the renovation cake – thank you! A special thanks to Power Autobody for painting it up too!

As the board takes a little break for the summer season hall rentals, we’d like to wish you a great rest of your spring and a most excellent summer in the Shuswap!
